Sublime and Beautiful Sunday Birds
This post is for #SublimeSunday is inspired by 
Good Morning everyone I hope your weekend is going well, I'm having a nice and quiet one relaxing at home
Before last year I used to always say I had no luck getting photos of birds, but last year I either got luck or had more patience which may well be the real factor that changed.
I am a fairly hyper person and when out on photo walks I was always moving which is not the best way to get photos of birds, often the key is to go somewhere where you hope to see some birds and then stand still and wait patiently for them to come into range, which is something I worked on last year and I ended up getting many bird shots I was happy with,
Starting with this shot of a seagull flying by with a shell in its beak

I have the photo above as one of the screensavers on my Surface tablet and I only today realized I had never shared it so starting the post with it.

While walking on of the trails in the area I saw a few herons at one edge of the pond behind some greenery and not clear, now in the past I would have said ohh well and moved on, but this time i waited patiently hoping one would come out into a clear view and it paid off with this shot
